Mike Banning ("Spaghetti"). "The Warrior" (played by Gerard Butler) is a story of love, although Gerald may not protect you so perfectly, but at least we have a lot of love (the "coming out" joke is also That's enough, you two just stay together).
Creighton Rothenberter and Katrin
Benedikt were the original writers of "The White House Has Fallen", but to make "London Has Fallen" not as pale and fleshy as its predecessor, they brought in two. Writer, better known
as Christian Gudegast, who starred in "Man
Apart" starring "Fast 8 boss" Vin Diesel and "Superman" Henry Cavill The screenwriter of "God of War". Of course, it is commendable that the story starts off as political, suspenseful, and curious. But then the script
started to become a mindless, straight-forward action blockbuster, from one explosion to the next, from one shootout to the next.
Director Babak Nagafi was able to master the rhythm well in the 1 hour and 45 minutes. There are no boring and procrastinating moments like "Bat Chao", and he is very good at mobilizing action scenes because of his previous works. Although they don't have the original or unimaginable action scenes of Spectre, they're still fascinating.
The mad scientist who made a bomb that would blow up the entire Gotham City in The Dark Knight Rises, Aaron Abu Bul, is back again, this time from the villain's puppet, to playing the villain, a man named Amir. Bakawi's perverted international arms dealer threw his daughter a lavish wedding on a rooftop in Lahore, Pakistan. An American drone blew up the entire event. Everyone thinks that Bakawi and his evil son
Two years later, the British Prime Minister died suddenly, and then world leaders came to his funeral. President Benjamin Arthur was accompanied by Secret Service Director Lynn Jacobs and Secret Service Special Agent Mike Banning. (Have to compliment the casting, the actress who plays the German chancellor is quite Merkel-like, and the white rose that gave her is quite symbolic)
And when everyone can enter St. Paul's church and mourn Britain The death of the Prime Minister, the movie killed the heads of countries in a way that seems to be a "Godfather"-style mix (according to statistics, there are only 5, but they are all G8 members, so it is very important, but the Prime Minister of Japan died in a traffic jam, really It makes people suspect that not only the Chinese people love to make fun of them, but also the United Kingdom and the United States), London's iconic buildings have been bombed in various ways, and POTUS (the US President's secret service nickname), Jacob and Banning and A string of bullets passed by. Occupied London is under total lockdown. On the American side, the staid Vice President Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) and his returning men from the past, Robert Foster as General Edward Clegg and Melissa Leo as Secretary of Defense Ruth McMillan, is working with British officials to find out who was behind the massacre and save the president.
Before all the heads of state were killed by the system one by one like the prey, Ed Wilder, the photographer of "Two Heroes" starring "One Beauty" James McAworth, has shown the grandeur of London through long shots, and the previous works Scorer Tver Morris' tone in the sequel roared uncomfortably in our ears from the start. And when it comes to the real action, there's no time for the soundtrack to brew, because it's already sensational and dramatic. When the action scenes are introduced, the soundtrack shines, and the action scenes are the highlight of "London Has Fallen". The rhythm is well grasped and the editing is very smooth, especially the street battle between Butler and the terrorists at the end, which is very realistic. You're drawn into this grand visual feast, for quite a few superficial reasons, because we have to admit, this sequel doesn't have much depth.
Eckhart
may be as watchable and relatable as a young Robert Redford (who starred in seven-time Oscar winner "Out of Africa" as a young man and is best known as the villain in "Captain 2"). ). He may not be as emotionally charged as Christian Bale, but his on-screen presence is truly impressive. And Freeman's Trumbull, a leader on the American side at the time, didn't have
the deep, familiar voice and dignified personality that audiences had come to expect. He seems too familiar with the character interpretation of the vice president, without much personality. And Abu Bul and Tsui Aite are the perfect completion of the task.
Angela Bassett also has Xiao Li's disease and has been on the road to accompany Oscar for many years. She's more talented than most of the movies she's starred in so far (check out her Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for Best Actress and What to Do with Love). You really hope she'll one day get a great art blockbuster like The Revenant to prove her acting skills and let all the press know that she's finally getting an Oscar. When you think about the tears when Jacob told Banning in "London Has Fallen" to "make those bastards suffer", and the tears just before she died, it's hard to question her sincerity.
And Gerard Butler has evolved into the newest John Will, and in more modern terms, the new John McClain. He shoots all kinds of kills, all kinds of knives and barrels, and breaks the necks of bad guys, and he hardly gets shot at all in the process (it's almost as superhero-like as 24 Hours of Ball Xiaoqiang). There's not a lot of reality that ties into his job or the characters he plays, basically two-dimensional characters: dear husband, super-powered Secret Service agent (even the president's son doesn't make a cameo that resonates) , because Barrett's character also has a newborn son in the sequel). Still, it's a movie that's quite enjoyable to watch as Butler takes down all kinds of bad guys as a Spartan.
It's worth noting that this American blockbuster is still too indistinguishable between normal Pakistanis and those evil Pakistanis, and it still makes a common mistake of this kind of film, discriminating against Middle Eastern people, especially Butler said to
Kamran The line "Bucky - I don't care what country you're from - Stan" is blatant irony. Writers, producers, and directors at the very least have a responsibility to reflect the good and the bad of a culture, and to balance those moral things, just like Zootopia.
Anyway, as a thrilling action-thriller, "London Has Fallen" is good, but not very good, and I'm very impressed.
